CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As Hurricane Helene travels toward the Florida panhandle, Truist Foundation today announced it will donate $500,000 to support relief and recovery efforts in communities impacted by the storm. The funds will be distributed to the American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen for immediate relief efforts as well as Center for Disaster Philanthropy's Atlantic Hurricane Season Fund for long-term recovery efforts.
美國紐約市，2024年9月26日 / PRNewswire / - 隨着颶風海倫向佛羅里達大角灣進發，truist financial 今天宣佈將捐款50萬美元，以支持颶風影響社區的救援和恢復工作。 這些資金將分發給美國紅十字會和世界中央廚房用於即時救援工作，以及災難慈善中心的大西洋颶風季基金，用於長期恢復工作。
"Our hearts go out to our teammates, clients and communities in the path of Hurricane Helene, which is expected to make landfall as the strongest storm yet this hurricane season," said Lynette Bell, president of Truist Foundation. "The importance of Truist's purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities is never clearer than when disaster strikes. Truist Foundation is dedicated to ensuring communities have the critical resources needed to prepare, respond and restore as quickly as possible."
「我們衷心關心受颶風海倫影響的我們的團隊、客戶和社區，預計這將是本颶風季以來最強烈的風暴，」truist financial 總裁林內特·貝爾表示。「truist的宗旨激勵和建設更美好的生活和社區的重要性在災難襲擊時愈發顯而易見。truist financial 致力於確保社區能夠儘快獲得所需的關鍵資源，以便迅速準備、響應和恢復。」
The selected organizations will use their grant funds to identify and deliver the most essential immediate community needs such as access to food, shelter and medical services. A portion of the donation will be focused on medium- and long-term recovery informed by disaster experts in partnership with those in the affected communities. Restoration efforts may address needs such as rebuilding homes, providing mental health, legal and disaster case management services, and other urgent challenges identified as recovery efforts progress.
所選組織將利用其撥款資金識別和提供最基本的即時社區需求，如食物、住所和醫療服務。 捐款的一部分將專注於中長期恢復工作，參考災難專家與受影響社區合作制定。 恢復工作可能涉及重建住房、提供心理健康、法律和災難案例管理服務，以及根據恢復工作進展確定的其他緊急挑戰。
Additionally, earlier this year, Truist Foundation donated $1 million to the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program, designed to deploy assistance quickly to communities impacted by events such as Hurricane Helene. Those funds help provide food, shelter, emotional support, comfort kits and other immediate relief supplies to thousands of families and individuals impacted by such disasters.
此外，今年早些時候，truist financial 捐贈了100萬美元給美國紅十字會年度災難援助計劃，旨在迅速向受颶風海倫等事件影響的社區提供援助。 這些資金有助於爲數千個受災家庭和個人提供食物、住所、情感支持、舒適套裝和其他即時救援物資。
